Can She-Hulk Break the Fourth Wall?
Yes, She-Hulk and her human form Jennifer Walters frequently break the fourth wall in Episode 1.
Breaking the fourth wall is a theatrical term used to describe when a character speaks directly to the audience, therefore piercing the veil between the fictional narrative and the real world.
After we are introduced to lawyer Jen and her associates, she sneaks back into her office to talk to the audience directly, informing them that they’re about to witness how she got her Hulk powers.
During her time with Bruce Banner in Mexico, we also see the first time She-Hulk breaks the fourth wall with the audience, which comes as a surprise to her but adds humor to the scene.
We then see Jen break the fourth wall for the second time near the end of the show, taking viewers from the catch-up reel to the present day with Jen in the courtroom.
Does the Character Break the Fourth Wall in the Comics?
Yes, She-Hulk is renowned for breaking the fourth wall in the comics, which is why the creators of the show thought it was imperative to include it.
Not only that, She-Hulk was the first character ever to break the fourth wall in Marvel Comics, starting with her first reader interaction in the 1989 Sensational She-Hulk run.
In addition to Deadpool and She-Hulk, Marvel also included a fourth wall break in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, when the Scarlet Witch takes control of Wanda’s Earth-838 body and then looks directly at the camera.
